From super model to super mum

Melbourne personality Rebecca Judd returned to the runway for British High St staple Next and the Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival with the kind of cool composure that only a mother of four can muster.

Before opening the show in a dramatic red gown beneath the blade of the Melbourne Museum a relaxed Rebecca, 34, revealed how she gets runway ready.

“Well I did the school drop off, fed the babies and squeezed in a workout with personal trainer,” Rebecca says. “I wanted to cancel her but she came and knocked on my door. Then I did my nails, gave myself a pedicure and drove here.”

Not many normal mums own a runway crowded with Melbourne’s top models, former Vogue cover star Samantha Harris and children delivering Blue Steel looks. For Rebecca it was about feeling a connection with Next, which is only available online in Australia.

“I like that it’s a one stop place for the family,” She said. “Chris is wearing an amazing suit tonight and it’s good for affordable kids clothing. They grow so quickly so you don’t want to break the bank.”

After the glamorous interlude into her daily life Rebecca was ready to return to supermum status. “On the way home we’re all stopping for pizza,” she confessed.
